At is perhaps not generally known
thsl correspondents all over the world,
cert1ply all over the United States,
are making n change in the manner Of
addressing their letters, papers, docu-
ments aud other mail matter, q change
which, If universally adopted, will in
stitute a c~ommendable revolution in
the work of corresponding, distribut-
ing and delivering the mails. In.
stead Of first writing the name Of the
person or company 10 whom the let.
ter or package is to be sent, the name
of the postofice is written across the
envelope In the center, aud under 1t
at the right side the name Of the coun-
" or state. The name Of the person
for whom the missive IL intended Is
then written in the lower left hand
corner, and, II deemed necessary, u G
name and address Of the sender IL
placed In the upper corner next to the
left. The advantage to be derived
from this system by those who handle
the mails. IL patent. On asserting AM
distributing, instead Of having to hum
through often illegible scrawls to inc

the letter Is addressed, the only con
cern Of the mail handlers, they have !,

GLOBE TIPS.
For these races the GLOBE tips are:
First Race-The Chevalier ought to be
first with Lady Virgil or Pat Moran UNI
comfortably close: second race should
go to Br0Okful, although jim Nave and
Modesty should not be overlooked for a
place; third race, VOlante is in con-
ditiOn now and ought to beat Lucky B,
but the contest between them will be
close and exciting; fourth race, Miss
Ford may start in this stake event and
should win, but not without struggle
with Jim Gore, and in the concluding
event HindOO Rose ought to capture
first money, with LOftin OF Ira E. Bride
a good second.

STANDING OF THE TEAMS.
st. Paul Still Unable to Overtake
Milwaukee.

st. Paul has not yet succeeded in over
taking Milwaukee, in fact the former is
not so good a second as a week ago. The
st. Paul team, however, has probably
done the most remarkable fielding the
past week that any base ball aggrega
ton ever did. Seven regular counting
league games have been played with
but total of nine errors, an average of
a trifie over one to the game. Three of
the seven games were entirely errOrleSS.
The team, however, has lost four of the
seven games through bad luck. Such
work will win in the end. The crOak-
erS have again commenced picking out
the weak spots in the team, but the
GLOBE hopes Manager Barnes will pay
no attention to their wailing. Changes
at this time should not be made. The
team is good enough for the present just
as it stands. Other teams are making
changes, and some of them are probably
for the better, but swapping players in
the middle of the season is very dam
gerouS business. Saturdays telegraphic
news contained an item saying that Mr..
Sawyer, of Oshkosh, had purchased
four players of the Bridgeport, Conn.,,
club. This is a good example, and the
GLOBE predicts that the new players
will bring not strength but diScOrd, and
that while the Oshkosh team as consti-
tuted at the beginning Of the season
had an excellent chance of winning the
pennant, the new aggregation will get
no better than fourth or fifth place.
Minneapolis will probably pull into
third place in the next ten days. The
people of La Crosse are evidently not
giving their team as cordial support as
it merits. 1t has played great many
close games and come in second, but it
has generally done pretty fielding ;;nd
strong batting, and merits better treat
ment than it is getting. The teams are
now in the following order:

PRETTY BALL TOssERs.
Baltimore Bellies Form a Picked
Nine of PLAYERS.

BALTIMORE, Md. July 5.-This has
always been good base ball town, but
the people are just wild over the ma
tiOnal game this season. The owners OF
the Baltimore club are making piles OF
money. The latest fad i'm fashionable
circles is club composed of nine of the
prettieSt girls in town. The fathers OF
several of the fair players own hand
some country places near town and each
has well laid out ground, with the
bases marked and the pitchers place
clearly defined. On these grounds the
pretty ball players, free from the vulgar
gaze of the opposite sex, enjoy the game
to their hearts content. They call
themselves BaltimOre's Beauty Base Ball
club. All of them wear gloves when
handling the ball and several of them
have become good batterS. The first
game played was with picked nine of
Baltimore county maidenS, whom the
Baltimore beauties first taught how to
play and then beat them by a score OF
% to II. Another match has been ar
ranged. No gentlemen are permitted to
see the games, and the only accounts OF
the enjoyable affairs obtainabie are
those furnished by lady spectators.

Yesterdays GAMES.

LOUISVILLE, KY, July 3.-NOtwith-
standing the threatening weather, a
crowd of about 1000 people was present
when the game between st. Louis and
Louisville was called to-day. Hudson
and Boyle and Ramsey and KerinS were
the batteries respectively for the visit
orS and home club. The Browns were
first at the bat, and went out in one,
two, three order. For Louisville,
Browning started the ball rolling by
making home run after two men had
been put out. Four runs followed be-
fore the nine was retired, Hudson being
hammered viciOusly. In the second
inning st. Louis scored one run by the
aid of some looSe playing by Louisville.
1t began Sprinkling lightly in the latter
half of the inning after, Louisville had
scored two runs and demonstrated
that it would knock Hudson
out of the box if the game
continued. The umpire called the
game and waited ten minutes, it con-
tinuing in the meantime to rain so
lightly that the uncovered seats were
not vacated by the people. He decided
that the game should continue, but St.

THE NATIONAL LEAGUE.
Van HaItren'S Debut in Chicago
Commented On.

The event the past week in the Ma
tiORal league was the debut of Van Hal
tren, the California wonder, in Chicago.
The young man had the misfortune to
run against an incompetent umpire last
Monday, the first day of his appearance,
and sixteen bases Oh balls were counted
up against him, the Boston team thus
securing an easy victory. The rest of
the week, however, the new pitcher
showed up in fine form, and on Satur-
day he retired the Washington aggrega-
ton with no hits worth mentioning
Van Haltren, besides being a great
pitcher, touches up the ball with the
willow in a way to immensely
please a Chicago audience. With
Van HaItren, Baldwin and ClarkSOn
as pitchers, it is even now pretty safe to
wager that the pennant of 1887 will fly
from the same flagstaff as that of 1886.
Beginning to-day New York will play
series in Chicago and Boston one in De
trOit. 1t is expected that both the East
erners will go down at least twice in
three games, and it would not be sur
priSing to see Boston lose three. De-
troit still holds a good lead, and has
nothing TO fear except its Old-time rival,
Chicago. Philadelphia, PittSburg, Wash
ingtOn and Indianapolis are already
virtually out of the race, and will doubt
less end the season in their present
order. The teams come up to July in
fha following DOSitiOnS.

A Belief That When One Priest
Dies Two Others Will Follow.

'.There was probably not Catholic
priest in the Philadelphia archdiocese
who did not feel a sense of relief at the
announcement of the death of Father
McGOvern last week." said a
clergyman who attended the funeral
of that priest at st. Malachi's church
Friday.''I do not mean to say, "he contin-
ued, with smile, THAT we are so heart
less as to rejoice at the death of one of
our number; but when | tell you that
when one priest dies in this archdiocese
it usually has occurred that two others
follow in a short time, you can under
stand what l mean. Father Me
Govern was the third priest
who was buried in this city within
the last two weeks. Rev. DR..
O'Connor, pastor of st. Michaels church,
was the first, and the dap after his fun
eral the Rev John Cox was drowned in
the delaware river. So strong has this
conviction become among the clergymen
that if any of them are feeling unwell
when priest dies the announcement
will always affect their health l
can recall an instance of this character
which came near costing the life
of leading priest. Some years ago a
clergyman was afflicted with dangerous,
lllOuSH lOJ HtCtSSdiIfA 1dldl, ulSedSe.
He was fair way of recovery when a
rector of church up town yielded up
the ghost. The news affected the sick
man so much that he took to his bed. A
second clergyman died. Our sick friend
felt he would be called upon to make the
third, and prepared for death. He rap
idly grew worse. and it seemed only
matter of a few hours when he would
join the silent majority. l called upon
him one day. He looked weak aad
emaciated. and could talk only with diff
ficulty. After speaking some cheering
words, l said: That was sad about
Father - what has happened to
him?' gasped the invalid He was
stricken with heart disease, replied. An
unusually bright light shone from the
eyes of the sick man, and catching me
by the hand. he said: why, that
makes the third From that moment
he improved. and to-day looks as though
he would like for the next fifty years"
''Strange, isn't it?' said the priest
80, 10; it is not superstition. 1t is
merely remarkable coincidence that
can not be explained
